    Wonder if he would be someone they would take at 28 or maybe trade back and try and land if they come away impressed after his workout.  

     

     

    This makes me happy for no other reason than it would seem the Bills didn't give up on a WR as a top need despite signing Curtis Samuel last week.   I wouldn't be upset if they took him at 28.   I also wouldn't be upset if they traded back to early 2nd and still tried to get him but grabbed someone like Legette as a fallback in case franklin got sniped by another team.

    I'm liking Coleman more every day. He reminds me of Michael Thomas with more versatility. Shows an alpha dog mentality

     

    He had the slowest 40 time of every receiver at the combine.   That's concerning.

    Nice signing.   We now have 3 inside/outside guys.. Diggs being a traditional outside guy with inside flex and Shakir/Samuel more inside guys with outside flex.  
     

    Presents a lot of flexibility with Knox/Kincaid in the mix at TE. 
     

    Still think we need a true outside WR early in the draft and this definitely doesn’t change that. 
     

    Still.. really nice piece to add.

     

    Draft an outside guy early and this WR room starts looking really nice. 

     

    I hope Beane understands this

    Bills sign Mack Hollins

    I’ll take youth over the Mack Hollins types. I would rather an undrafted rookie free agent filling out the final WR spot.

     

    Hopefully it will be Shorter plus another rookie by season start and Hollins gets the axe.

    Do The Bills Have Enough "Elite" Talent?

    No. And it has been the case multiple years. 

     

    I think the philosophy of only bringing in "high culture" guys tends to lead to these types of situations.   Sometimes a little ferocity is beneficial.   If you don't have that inner fire on the field, you're not going to dominate.  Josh Allen has it.   When we tried to tame him we went backwards. 

     

     I was never a fan of Ray Lewis but he terrorized teams.  Not someone the Bills would probably every consider having on their roster.  

     

    As the old saying goes.  Nice guys finish last.

    Morse Released

    Any chance Morse or Poyer end up back in Buffalo at the start of camp?   The safety market is pretty saturated this offseason.   I'm not sure what Mitch is looking but he seems like the kinda guy would want to retire in Buffalo if he's not liking the kind of offers he's getting out there.

    The proposed new baseball stadium in Las Vegas, a dome, in the very heart of the Las Vegas strip, is budgeted for $300MM less than the Bills be stadium. I still can't wrap my brain around that.

    I can explain.  When it's tax payer funded, the price goes up 300 percent.

    How clutch was Josh in 2023? No other QB even came close

    I agree.  

     

    First, as others have said, looking at these obscure collections of data is interesting but really not very useful.  We live an age where there's practically an infinite amount of data, and it can be sliced, diced, and presented in multiple ways.  The result is that there's always some collection of data that makes my guy look like a winner.  

     

    Now, if Josh actually is having all these clutch 4th quarter drives AND the Bills are losing a lot of these games, there are only two conclusions:  Either (1) the defense isn't holding up or (2) the defense is holding up but on a later possession, the offense or special teams fail (give away, blocked punt, 3 and out, whatever).   I haven't seen that data, but my gut feeling is that this past season it was more often 1 and occasionally 2.  

     

    Either way, I'd say this data supports an argument for more and better defense.  If your quarterback and your offense are making clutch plays at the rate this data suggests, it would seem that all you need for the team to succeed in close games is for the defense to perform average or better.  

     

    I suppose the real question is this:  Can we see the same chart for how well the defense performed in the same game situations?

     

    One further note:   I was clicking around to see the original of this chart, who compiled, etc., and I discovered that although the OP links to to this guy Kurt Benkert's tweet from yesterday, the chart first appears in a tweet from @waddlehouse17 on December 23.  He notes that the data is only through week 12, so this chart doesn't include however good or bad Josh was in the final weeks of the season.  

     

    Our WR1 and WR2 combined for 61 catches for 684 yards in the last 7 games of the season plus 2 playoff games.  

     

    That's an average of about 3.5 catches and 38 yards per game from each of the two skill positions.   Take away the Chargers game and our WR2 was almost completely non existent the second half of the season.   

     

    Get Josh Some legitimate threats and good O-Line protection so we won't even need to worry about defense.   We'll be dropping 35+ points per game.

    Many on the right just say it’s a mental health issue.  If that’s the case then bring up and pass legislation to improve mental health.  I’ve seen nothing.  

     

    I'm in favor of reopening mental institutions in the US.  Lot of people with mental health issues these days it seems.  I'd rather see some of them get some help and treatment somewhere before they go off the deep end and commit acts of violence and spend life in prison.

    You think life is difficult NOW? Life has never been easier in human history and that is the problem. People have no purpose. We need to get back to strong family values, hard work, and determination.

     

    I'm sure AI will fix that right up 🤣   We're two steps away from literally living in the movie Idiocracy.
